Chelsea initiates talks with Benjamin Sesko’s agent
Chelsea has taken serious moves in their pursuit of improving their squad for the upcoming season, with rumours claiming that they have held talks with Benjamin Sesko’s agent.
The 20-year-old RB Leipzig attacker received interest from a number of prominent teams, including London rivals Arsenal.
Following interest from other Premier League powers such as Manchester United, Chelsea is still interested in signing Sesko.
According to journalist Simon Phillips, Chelsea have already contacted his agent.
On Substack, he stated: “The agent of Benjamin Sesko of RB Leipzig has already been contacted, as I exclusively reported yesterday [Sunday] morning.
“Chelsea also have very good relations with The Red Bull group — that side of things could help if Chelsea want to stagger the payments of his £42m release clause. As I said yesterday, a real one to watch this one.”
The Blues, who had a difficult season and finished outside of the European places, are prepared to refocus their attacking options.
Sesko’s likely arrival at Stamford Bridge could strengthen Chelsea’s frontline, offering competition and strength in their quest of success.
However, they will have plenty of competition from an in-form Arsenal side managed by manager Mikel Arteta, whose turning impact on players such as Kai Havertz caught Sesko’s interest.
While Chelsea deals, the prospect of playing under Arteta’s management could draw Sesko to the Emirates Stadium.
Chelsea plans to make a strong case for Sesko to join the club ahead of the upcoming season.
